If you want to work with the locally downloaded .img file, it seems to work ok on Infinite Mac - https://infinitemac.org . Specifically, the (default?) 1999 or 2000 Mac OS 9.0. Once it boots, drag the .img file onto it, and it will show up as a CD on the virtual desktop.

Subject: Cannot open on Windows 10 - Help!

Hi

I've downloaded both 430 MB files. When I try to mount the file in Windows 10, I get a "disk image file corrupted" message.
How can I view this? Please help.

Thanks.

Hi

I've downloaded both 430 MB files, click on them, I just get a "disk image file corrupted" message. I suspect it is trying to tell me that I need some other software to open the .img files.

I'm using Windows 10. How do I get to view this, or is it for Macs only?

Tks

Once loaded put in full-screen for best effect.

This is a fabulous emulator and reminder of how great the WEC was. Some of the things you find you may wish were available today.
